Synopsis:

In a modern world subtly interwoven with ancient folklore, Onyankopon, a benevolent spirit of the past, now operates through a network of representatives. A childhood mishap involving a mallet has left him with a persistent apprehension towards direct interaction, leading him to delegate tasks to his loyal followers. The series follows these emissaries as they navigate the everyday concerns of contemporary Japanese high school students. Episodes blend slice-of-life scenarios with lighthearted problem-solving, often incorporating musical elements inspired by Afrobeat. The narrative explores themes of communication, overcoming personal anxieties, and finding unconventional solutions to common adolescent challenges, all presented within a gentle, character-driven framework. It offers a uniquely calming perspective on navigating the complexities of youth.
